Nuwaira has everything,except the one life she has always dreamed of. At thirty-one, she's a celebrated fashion designer;brilliant, admired, and impossible to ignore. Yet the one thing she has always wanted most; a marriage, and a family, has always slipped just out of reach. Once, she came heartbreakingly close. Adil has never truly been part of her world. Their interactions have never gone beyond polite greetings. Even as a child, Nuwaira knew he didn't like her, she didn't like him too and had never pretended otherwise. "You'll never change, Nuwairah." "And you'll always be self-righteous," she shot back. Adil thinks he knows exactly the kind of woman she is. But rumors are easy. Truth is harder. When life begins to unravel in ways Nuwaira never expected, the last person she wants near her becomes the one who refuses to leave,long enough to see the woman behind the gossip and armor. Long enough to fall for her. Even if trusting him might mean opening her heart again... after losing everything she once believed was certain. Yours, Nuwaira is a slow-burn, deeply emotional romance about misjudgment, resilience, and the fragile courage it takes to love again,because sometimes the last person you'd ever trust with your heart becomes the one who falls first... and refuses to let you face the storm alone.

"I love you, Bils. I've always loved you," Mukhtar said, his voice low, desperate. "I'm sorry for running away sorry for how things ended between us. Please... just give me a chance to prove myself." He looked at her like she was his last prayer. Bilkisu bit her lip, torn between the ache of remembering and the need to protect what was left of her pride. "Mukhtar?" she said softly, then her eyes hardened. "No." He was her almost. Her what-if. Her once-upon-a-time. And then he disappeared twice. Mukhtar has always known where his loyalty lies: with his family, his culture. But when it comes to Bilkisu his cousin and first love the lines between honor and desire blur. A year ago, they shared something quiet but real until he ghosted her without explanation. Twice. Now, with another man's proposal on the table and pressure mounting, Bilkisu must decide: will she marry for duty, or risk everything for a love that's never been allowed to breathe? But Mukhtar isn't the same man who walked away. And Bilkisu isn't the girl who waited. Set against the backdrop of tradition, expectations, and the sacrifices made in silence, Bound by Honor explores whether love can still bloom in the soil of restraint and what happens when two hearts, bound by everything but time, finally speak.

Hooriyah was broken long before she ever truly lived. One night, everything was taken from her-her trust, her voice, her innocence. The world showed her that some things are never meant to be repaired, and love isn't meant for girls like her. She learned to live with silence, with shadows, and the weight of a memory that refuses to fade. But then there was Muhammad. Gentle, patient, and kind-he saw her in ways no one else did. Loved her with a tenderness that frightened her. But love isn't simple when the past is a ghost that never lets go. Especially when the man she's starting to trust is hiding something-something that could change everything. Buried Desires is a story of lingering pain, love that's too complicated to define, and the fragile hope of two broken souls caught between truth and deception-each one unsure if healing is even possible.

Maryam never noticed the eyes watching her. The quiet steps. The window that never quite closed the way she left it. A stranger with haunted eyes and a darkness she couldn't understand. He saw her in ways no one else ever did. He watched from the shadows, left gifts at her door, and whispered her name into the night. His name is Yusuf. But the world calls him V. To them, he's a ghost-criminal, thief, myth. To her, he's something far more terrifying. He's the one she can't stop thinking about. He says he'd never hurt her. But he's already stolen her peace... and maybe her heart.
